[Oneeyedvic]

I am having some friends over for dinner and one of the people has the following allergies:

anything containing flour or wheat
anything containing gluten
anything containing yeast (mushrooms )
red meat

Was going to go with a fish dish of some sort - any ideas

How about sea bass with roasted shallots and red wine sauce? I have made this a few times and its lovely:
This serves 1 person so multiply quantities

Ingredients
For the sea bass
170g/7oz sea bass fillet, skin scored

For the potatoes
15g/�oz butter
55g/2oz new potatoes, sliced 2cm thick, parboiled
handful spinach

For the shallots
15g/�oz butter
2 shallots, peeled and halved through root
1 tbsp caster sugar
2 tbsp red wine

For the sauce
55g/2oz pancetta
150ml/6fl oz red wine
1 tbsp caster sugar

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
2. For the sea bass, heat an oven-proof griddle pan until smoking, then place the fish, skin side- down, onto the pan and cook for two minutes. Transfer to the oven and roast for 5-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
3. For the potatoes, melt the butter in a large frying pan, and when melted add the potatoes and saut� until golden. Add the spinach to the potatoes and cook until the spinach is wilted.
4. To make the shallots, melt the butter in a small pan and once foaming, add the shallots, sugar and wine. Place into the oven for 10 minutes.
5. For the sauce, place the pancetta into a frying pan and fry for 3-4 minutes, add the red wine and sugar to the pan and simmer for 4-5 minutes, to reduce and thicken.
6. To serve, place the potatoes and shallots onto a warmed plate, top with the fish and pour the sauce over.
